AMAZING

Kid needs to be aborted.

I actually think Joselu has better hold up play.

What exactly did Slimani show in his time here

Who signed before the world cup.

Based on what

Chronicle said a deal was unlikely a few days ago. For that reason alone I hope it happens.

We finished 10th with pretty much the same squad. Cardiff, Huddersfield and Bournemouth are 3 worse than us off the top of my head. Southampton, Fulham, Brighton, Palace and Watford aren't much better if at all. This 10th place gives off false senses of security we finished 10th on 44 fucking points man it's not as if it was a good mid table season on 50-60 points. We lost 1 less game than the team that finished bottom and Huddersfield Southampton and Fulham have strengthened. Our squad depth is crap and our ability to score goals is a huge concern. As Rafa has even said this season will be even more difficult than last to hit that 40 point mark You've just given 8 teams there that you think we are better equipped than I beg to differ Every season is more difficult than the last. I said we were definitely better than 3 and on par with or better than a further 5. If you think we have the worst team in the league then you're just being ridiculous. With Pardew, Carver or McClaren in charge I'd be shitting it, instead I think we'll finish around 15th if we don't lose any first teamers (which is looking very likely).

Joe Bryan is very decent tbh. No idea about the centre half. And Rondon isn't Joselu. I'd be happy with that but would like one of those creative centre midfielders we've been linked with.

We have a sprinkler system? Wow, modern. Fair enough. First drill is to drag those hoses out to midfield. After the holes in the hoses have been gaffer taped.

Was having a conversation with a ST holder at the SOL on Friday night and they were trying to claim that us finishing 10th to 17th would be seen as a disaster. Reckons that their manager won't last til Christmas if they aren't looking like running away with the league as well. Strange bunch.

I'm not going to be there as it's still cricket season, so all for the boycout.

I think we need to change the chant, from 'fat cockney bastard' to 'fat greedy bastard'. Reckon that will give us more credibility amd stop those southern journos from being able to spout their usual shite.

He's a very decent seam bowler, so at least he'll have that to fall back on.

Reckon this will make us go back in for Ozyakup?

Meh.

*Fret

We will as well, I reckon. Somewhere around the £50m mark, whilst breaking our transfer record. I just think jumping in here to pile on the misery every time another club is linked with a transfer north of like £15m is a pointless exercise. Regarding the left behind stuff, I just think if say 10 clubs are in similar situation to us in terms of transfers, then I genuinely can't see how we're being left behind. Nailed it.

His first season there was more AM but now he's just a ball winning/recycling CM, maybe to keep Salah and the fullbacks higher up the pitch. He still creates as much as Henderson, who sees more of the ball and makes many more passes, presumably as the go-to player who collects from the defence. Some numbers you can play with, with Shelvey and Diame in for comparison. http://www2.squawka.com/comparison-matrix#premier_league/2017/2018/jordan_henderson/819/819/86/0/p|premier_league/2017/2018/jonjo_shelvey/819/819/523/39/p|premier_league/2017/2018/mohamed_diam%C3%A9/819/819/922/39/p|premier_league/2016/2017/georginio_wijnaldum/819/641/7968/36/p|premier_league/2017/2018/georginio_wijnaldum/819/819/7968/36/p#total_score/key_passes/chances_created/assists/pass_completion/avg_pass_length/goals_scored/total_duels_%/fouls_committed/fouls_suffered/total_passes/total_forward_passes#total Playing bread and butter CM in this way, and not just "ghost in and score but otherwise invisible" AM, suggests he is much more useful that he looked for us. For us, I think the goals he scored came from very few shots, famously all four in that Norwich game, so that level of production is unlikely to be repeated. In 32 games he never misplaced a single pass last season?

I would 100% have him back. Think he could be great under Rafa.

All those types of Liverpool shirts are absolutely shite imo
